SCS prepares for Fair Road bridge project

Revised student dropoff, pick-up planbegins Feb. 28

SIDNEY — In preparation for the rehabilitation of the Fair Road bridge, located over the CSX railroad near the Sidney Middle School, the Shelby County Engineer’s Office has worked with the schools to develop a revised student dropoff and pick-up plan.

To allow drivers and students time to adjust before construction begins, the new traffic plan will be enforced beginning Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019. Traffic over the structure will be maintained at all times during the project; however, the area in the construction zone will be reduced to two lanes. Some congestion is expected during the project so use caution when driving in this area and allow yourself some extra time.

These changes will begin Feb. 28:

• A 15 mph speed limit will be enforced within parking lots with a police presence monitoring traffic.

Middle School Students:

• All vehicles dropping-off or picking-up middle school students are to enter through the Fourth Street entrance.

• Any vehicles dropping-off or picking-up will be required to exit from front (east) side of the middle school.

• Drop-off and pick-up in the front (east side) of the middle school is reserved strictly for buses during specific hours.
